Directions

Prepare syrup; keep hot but not boiling.

Wash fruit. Using a large sharp knife, slice off the bottom stem end and the green top of pineapple. Stand pineapple on one cut end and slice off the skin in wide strips from top to bottom; discard skin. To remove the eyes, cut diagonally around the fruit, following the pattern of the eyes and making narrow wedge-shaped grooves into the pineapple. Cut away as little of the meat as possible. Cut pineapple in half lengthwise; place pieces cut-side down and cut lengthwise again. Cut off and discard center core from each quarter. Finely chop pineapple. Measure 3 cups pineapple. Peel, pit, and cut peaches into cubes. Measure 8-1/2 cups peaches. Peel, core, and cut pears into cubes. Measure 6-1/2 cups pears. Halve and pit cherries. Measure 2-1/2 cups cherries. Remove stems from grapes. Measure 3 cups grapes.
